History of Avondale
Way back in 1970 Avondale Coachcraft was founded and the very first Avondale Mayfly was produced. The company was started by husband and wife team Gerald and Eileen Ball, joined by Louis Ball later on that year, and Graham Ball in 1973. The company continued to flourish after selling many of their well made high spec caravans which lead them to make the decision to progress to the next level.
So, in the 1980’s Avondale added 2 additional ranges to its line-up; the Leda and the Perle. The original range that used bird names for it’s models remained the top of the range, followed by the mid-range Leda, and finally the entry level Perle.
In 1991 Mr & Mrs Ball retired and their son Christopher Ball took charge of the company. With a new person heading up the company more changes were made and we saw the introduction of the Avondale Sport in 1994, the Avondale Landranger in 1996, the Avondale Dart in 1998 (Avondale’s best selling range of all time), the Avondale Rialto in 1999, Avondale Argente in 2002 and lastly the Bianco range in 2004. See the table below for a timeline of the Avondale caravan models.
Sadly, on 16th September 2008 Avondale went in to administration. The company fell victim to the economic crisis that the country was (and still is) struggling with at the time. This was a knock-on effect that from the dealers who were also struggling and needed to cut back on what they ordered. No buyer came forward for the company and so Avondale Coachcraft is no longer. We can only hope that one day someone will come along and start building them again in their previous glory.
